Students Cry For Help
Shrugged By Security
By Catherine Speller
"We rushed to report to a
patrolling security officer that
someone had broken into our
locked car and that the intruder was still in the car with
the lights on," stated Connie
Pinnix.
The response to the
Mudcnis' cry for help was "so
and what are we supposed to
do. It could be a husband or a
boyfriend."
La Rosa Pinnix said that the
driver of the car, Valerie
Moore, did not go to school at
A&T, and that she is from out-
of-state, and attending the
University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill.
After a long explanation of
the problem, the security
guards then proceeded to the
scene of the crime where the
owner of the car waited a few
feet away from the car.
"When ihc\ arrived at the
scene, the security officers did
not seem surprised to see that
the intruder was still in the
car," said Pinnix.
"Once the officers had the
intruder outside of the car,
they set him on the Student
Union steps and told him to
stay there until he sobered up.
Then, without further questioning the intruder left," she
said.
The intruder kept saying
through the whole incident,
"This is my grandmother's car
and I have the keys," which
when tried, did not unlock the
car door.
The two Carolina students,
Moore and Pinnix, said that
thevdid not feel safe on A&T's
campus when the security
guards could not respond properly at the scene of a crime,
when the intruder was found
at the scene when the guards
arrived.
When the three female
students finally opened their
car they found that the intruder had regurgitated all
over the car. The officers'
response to this was "Vou
ought to help the ladies clean
this mess up!"
The intruder then proceeded
to enter the car and smear the
vomit across the seat. The
owner of the car then started
to scream at the security officers to get the intruder out of
her car. Pinnix said that
Moore had to scream at least
four times before the officers

cy test. One student was arrested, but the demostration
was peaceful otherwise.
Lisa Topps, 16, a junior at
Dudley, was arrested for using
a bullhorn to chant, "Stop the
test." She was released later in
the day on a $100 bond.
The students demonstrated
on the street across from the
school since they were not
allowed on school grounds.
They carried signs and
chanted against the test. They
were allowed to continue as
long as they did not disturb the
students taking the test.
A spokesman said they
demonstratedagainst the test
because it will create a low-
wage labor pool of those
students who are unable to
pass it.
Three of the demonstrated
were juniors and refused to
take the test, which was given
for the first time Wednesday
to the state's80,000 juniors.

motor vehicles, decided April
4 to remove the slogan because
it has "outlived its
usefulness,"
The~slogan,adopted in connection with the bicentennial
celebration, sparked criticism
from some motorists but Mrs
Gupton said Bradshaw and
Peters were not pressured into
the decision to drop it.
"Obviously, there was quite
a bit of controversy at first,"
she said. "But. if the reason it
was taken off was pressure, it
would lhave been taken off
then."
When the slogan first appeared, some motorists taped
over it, and police cited several
drivers for covering the slogan
until Attorney General Rufus
Edmisten said the taping was
not illegal unless the tag was
otherwise defaced.
Mrs. Gupton said the slogan
appears on 44,000 plates that
will be distributed in the immediate future but is being
left off 92,000 plates currently
being printed. The new tags
will be blank across the top
where the slogan has been
printed on older ones.
Mrs. Gupton said Bradshaw
and Perers had not previously
mentioned the decision to
remove the slogan because "I
guess they didn't think it was
that important."
